Slow Cooker BBQ Sweet Potato Bakers

The slow cooker does it all. Here, you stick sweet potatoes into the slow cooker and let them bake for a few hours. Then, top with rotisserie chicken, cheese, and barbeque sauce for a dinner the entire family is sure to love. If you want to get kids involved with cooking, make sure to wrap the sides of the slow cooker insert with a dish-towel before adding the chicken, cheese, and sauce. It tends to get hot during cooking.

How to Make It

Step 1

Prick potatoes all over with a fork and place in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low until potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 3 hours and 30 minutes.

Step 2

Split potatoes lengthwise and top each with ½ tablespoon butter. Using a fork, gently mash and fluff flesh to incorporate butter. Season with salt and pepper, then top with chicken and cheese. Return potatoes to slow cooker, filling side up. Cover with lid and cook on low until chicken is warmed through and cheese has melted, 5 to 10 minutes. Top with barbecue sauce, sour cream, and chives.
